Embellished Ornaments

Here's another card I created for my Open House that was copied straight from the Holiday Catalog on page 13. I just LOVE the color combo. The colors are Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Gold, and Whisper White. This card would be one that you would send to someone VERY special - or hand deliver since it contains a big, fat button!

Here's how it was made...

Stamp 2 ornaments on Whisper White card stock in Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow. Stamp a third in Versamark and heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder.

Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow. Cut the 3 ornaments and the sentiment using the coordinating framelit. You'll also cut a 5th ornament out of the music note paper in the Home for Christmas DSP collection.

You'll stamp an ornament hook in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White card stock. You'll also stamp another ornament hook in Versamark on Whisper White and heat emboss with Gold powder.

You'll then need a Mint Macaron Card Base and a 4" x 5-1/4" gold foil piece of the Winter Wonderland Designer Series Vellum.

I laid out the ornaments to get the placement I wanted. I then glued the vellum layer and ornaments. Be careful to hide the adhesive from the vellum under your ornaments. I then embellished with the foil flower, a button (with gold metallic thread tied through it), and some Gold Ribbon.

I may not be making a stack of these for Christmas, but I can tell you that I will be making cards using the Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, and Gold Color Combo!
